In addition to the first Xbox Game Pass games starting in January 2024, Microsoft is offering some of its subscribers a new benefit. But you don’t have to wait to get it!
For now, the January 2024 Xbox Game Pass doesn’t disappoint. In the last few hours, subscribers have been able to try out the narrative horror game Close to the Sun and Hell Let Loose. An FPS that plunges players into the hell of World War II in very large battles with up to 100 players. At the same time and as always, it is also possible to download certain content for a game for free. This time it’s a Microsoft exclusive that had trouble at launch but is now picking up steam.
Xbox Game Pass free benefit in January 2024
Hear, hear, Mousaillons! Do you know Sea of Thieves? This is the pirate game from Rare (Donkey Kong, Banjo-Kazooie…) released in 2018 on Xbox One and PC. A Microsoft exclusive game full of potential, but disappointing due to the lack of content and the concept that was too limited at launch. Since the game was rewarded with a variety of updates, Season 10 launched in late 2023 and the title is still well suited to a service like Xbox Game Pass. If you have a current subscription and are still playing Sea of Thieves, a free benefit is available now.
All Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can download the “Nightshine Parrot Pack,” which includes gold coins, a jacket, a hat… “This pack includes the Nightshine Parrot Jacket, Nightshine Parrot Veils, Nightshine Parrot Figurehead, Nightshine Parrot Hat and Nightshine Parrot Cutlass, as well as 10,000 in-game Gold Spend ». This package with cosmetics and money is valid until January 28, 2024 via Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
A Sea of Thieves gift and free playable games
If you want to go even further, note that Sea of Thieves has been expanded to include the new Calm Seas mode. It allows you to navigate the water alone or with three friends… without encountering online opponents who would like to attack you. “Although some features are not available in Calm Seas and the rate of progression is limited to balance the game, this mode is an ideal option for new pirates who want to learn the basics, for story fans who want to enjoy the fables uninterrupted, as well as Privateer or for… “a crew who wants to explore the world and face its natural dangers.” (via Sea of Thieves official website).
